For a quick example, right now, using the Thunderbird MUA, it does not allow me to create a multiple from reply or new message.

From a presentation standard, the TBird MUA presents only the

I have not checked the Outlook MUA, but it will present all the From: lines as one.

As a follow up, I did a quick test and the Outlook Express MUA will not allow you to create Multiple From: authorships, but it will present (display) received mail with Multiple From: lines as one From: header line.

I have not checked the non-free commercial Outlook MUA version but I do know it will do more then the Outlook Express which is available on every Windows machine. So maybe the commercial version will give you a Manual Editable or Multi-Select From: field as a "Feature."

I can tell ya that from an Online standpoint, this will be a MAJOR security concern to allow any online user (login authorized and especially anonymous) to edit their default From address or add addition ones when creating or replying to mail.

So I will never add this unless it was a secured concept for our mail readers/creation software.
